-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Format] Add specification document for the serialization scheme used in Python
                 Key: ARROW-1422
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1422
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Format, Python
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 0.7.0


In discussing the new {{pyarrow.serialize}} function with attendees at JupyterCon last week, there is some interest in possibly using this serialization scheme (a union with scalar values + object structure, with a sidecar of tensors) beyond Python. For example, it would be interesting to be able to interact with this "data structure" in JavaScript. It may be worth writing down the details of how this works so that other implementations can be created without having to pore through the C++ code for details
